Elysia Bio

Elysia Bio is a private North Carolina agricultural biotechnology company developing genetically engineered feed crops for livestock. Its approach is to embed beneficial traits directly into common pasture, silage, and grain crops so farmers can use improved feed without changing their existing operating practices or relying on feed additives or drugs. The company is focused on reducing enteric methane emissions from cattle and other ruminants while also improving herd productivity and farm economics. Elysia appears to be an early-stage platform company centered on crop biotechnology for climate and animal agriculture applications, with independent cattle trials for its first product planned for 2026.
